Oops my example was missing the important $*USAGE message. And it makes
sense to show the wrong named args before the wrong list args.
example.raku:
multi sub MAIN(:$these ="These", :$are="Are") { say "$these $are"; };
multi sub MAIN(*@wrong-list,:$these ="These", :$are="Are",*%wrong-named)
is hidden-from-USAGE
{say "$*USAGE\nGot bad args " ~ %wrong-named ~ " "~ @wrong-list}'
raku example.raku -these=HIHIHI -foo=BABABA
